Some weekends aren’t just memorable – they etch themselves into your story. Late last year, I took a whirlwind 36-hour trip from Vancouver, Canada to Los Angeles, USA with my friend Paul, driven by a single mission: to bring our friend Sid’s RWB Porsche 997 on a journey through some of LA’s most iconic roads and […]

I’ve always found the idea of devoting oneself to a single manufacturer or a specific region or style quite interesting. None of us are born with these preferences; rather, they are developed […]
Find a decent stretch of touge, a Group A-inspired R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R, and don’t forget the camera batteries. Simple enough, right? Just follow that formula, and you’re guaranteed to appease the Instagram algorithm. Just remember the batteries… I’d probably forget my head if it wasn’t screwed on, most of the time.

When you have spent the majority of your summer weekends growing up alongside drag strips watching your dad run down the quarter mile, there is a strong likelihood that you’ll follow in their footsteps. Marc Huxley was that kid. At the 14th Annual Retro Toyota Gathering last year, Marc brought along his stunning KE20 Toyota Corolla drag car. […]
When Hironao Yokomaku began working at a French restaurant aged 16, little did he know how much he’d influence Japan’s car culture in the decades that followed. Now aged 63, the Tsukuba-based tuner shows no signs of slowing down having just unveiled a new project alongside Fast & Furious actor Sung Kang. Because for nearly four […]
The first event of the year is always special. It’s like being lost in a desert and then catching a glimpse of an oasis. As the UK automotive season winds down with the arrival of winter, the first event you plan to attend in the new season feels like a beacon of hope. This was […]
If you’re reading this, I think there’s a good chance you have at least one V12-engined car in your ‘Top 10’ list. My dream collection wouldn’t be complete without a Lamborghini Miura SV, a Mercedes-Benz SL70 AMG and an Alpina B12 Coupé. I’d also have a Mercedes-AMG S65 as a daily and a Ferrari Enzo […]
